Mixing Fuel

WARNING!
Minimize the risk of fire,
burns, and personal
injury!
STOP engine before refueling.
ALWAYS allow the engine to cool
before refueling.
ALWAYS open the fuel cap slowly
to allow any pressure build-up in the
tank to release fuel vapor slowly.
ALWAYS transport and store fuels
in an approved container.
Avoid overfilling and wipe-up all
spilled fuel. Move the engine at
least 3 meters from the fueling point,
storage area, and other readily
flammable materials before restarting.
ALWAYS inspect the unit for fuel
leaks before each use. During each
refill, make sure there are no fuel
leaks around the fuel cap and/or tank.
If a fuel leak is evident, stop using the
unit immediately. Fuel leaks must be
repaired before using the unit.
Never smoke or light any fires
near the engine or fuel source.
Never place any flammable
material near the engine or muffler.
Never operate the engine without
the muffler in good working condition.

Filling the Fuel Tank

IMPORTANT!
Mix only enough fuel for your immediate
needs! If fuel must be stored longer than 30-
days, it should first be treated with a stabilizer
such as STA-BIL™ or equivalent product!
CAUTION!
This engine is designed to operate
on a 50:1 mixture consisting of
unleaded gasoline and a premium
2-cycle mixing oil only. Use of Non-
approved mixing oils can lead to
excessive maintenance costs and/or
engine damage.

CAUTION!
Never use any fuel containing more
than 10% alcohol by volume! Some
gasolines contain alcohol as an
oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels may
cause increased operating tem-
peratures. Under certain conditions,
alcohol-based fuels may also reduce
the lubricating qualities of some mix-
ing oils.
Generic oils and some outboard
motor oils may not be intended for
use in high-performance air cooled
2-cycle engines, and should never
be used in your Shindaiwa engine!
Use only fresh, clean unleaded
gasoline with a pump octane rating of
87 or higher.
